Enlarged pores are almost never what they look like
Pore size is largely genetic and cannot be changed. Everything else can: how much sebum you produce, how much collects inside the pore, and how much firmness the skin around it still has. That is what we measure.

Why pores look bigger
A pore is the opening of a follicle. Its baseline diameter is set by genetics and skin type, and no treatment shrinks it permanently. Anyone promising to "close your pores" for good is selling you something that does not exist.
But a pore looks far larger when it is full. Oxidised sebum, dead cells and product residue visually widen the opening, and the shadow they cast does the rest. Add loss of firmness: when perifollicular collagen weakens — with age and above all with accumulated sun damage — the pore loses its support and looks stretched and teardrop-shaped, especially across the cheeks.
Here is the expensive mistake. Many people with visible pores attack their skin with harsh cleansers and alcohol, dehydrate it, and the skin responds by producing more sebum. The result is skin that is oily and dehydrated at the same time — very common in the Costa del Sol climate, and nearly impossible to identify by eye.
What the scanner measures
The question to settle is whether your skin is genuinely oily or dehydrated and compensating. The scanner separates the two.
Sebum and distribution
Where oil production actually concentrates. Most people assume their whole face is oily when in fact it is an oily T-zone with normal or dry cheeks — and that changes the entire routine.
Pore congestion
The UV image shows bacterial activity and follicular content: which pores are genuinely congested, and which only look large because of shadow.
Hydration versus oil
The decisive reading. Oily-dehydrated skin needs the exact opposite of what most people apply to it.
Perifollicular firmness
Texture and sun damage around the pore show whether the widening comes from congestion — treatable — or from lost support, which is approached differently.
What you leave with
Your skin type, measured
Oily, combination, or dehydrated and compensating — from data, not from how the mirror looks at six in the evening.
Realistic expectations about pores
How much of what you see can be improved and how much is your anatomy. We would rather tell you before you pay for it.
The right routine
Which cleanser, what exfoliation frequency and which moisturiser texture for what you actually have.
A written 12-month plan
With an in-clinic session cadence that makes sense for your skin, not a generic calendar.
Price
The skin analysis is €40 and takes 20–25 minutes. The €40 comes off your first treatment or skincare purchase in full. On oily, congested skin the first recommendation is very often a change of home routine rather than an in-clinic session — and the €40 applies to products just the same.
Frequently asked questions about pores
Can pores be closed?
Not permanently — baseline diameter is genetic. What can be done is emptying them, reducing sebum production and improving the firmness around them, which makes them noticeably less visible. Anyone promising to close them for good is not being straight with you.
My skin is oily but also tight. Is that possible?
Very common: oily and dehydrated at once, usually caused by cleansers that are too harsh. It is exactly the kind of thing the scanner distinguishes in a minute and that is almost impossible to get right by eye.
Do facials help with pores?
Extraction empties the pore and improves the look immediately, but if what fills it is not corrected, it comes back. That is why the written plan accompanies any session.
How often should I exfoliate?
It depends on your barrier condition and sebum production, which is precisely what we measure. Over-exfoliation is one of the most common causes of oily, irritated skin we see.
